| Research Abstract |
To establish biological delignification of biomass by Ureibacillus thermosphaericus, a rapid method evaluating the degree of deliginification using cellulose binding domain from Thermobifida fsuca Cel9B was developed. This bacterium was found to produce Mn-peroxidase and Cu-amine oxidase. It was possible to produce these enzymes by cultivating this bacterium in a synthetic medium containing seven amino acids and two vitamins.
